It doesn't work. You can try it yourself on nbc.com/live
Channels 6010, 6012, 6014, 6016, 6018 and 6020 are all displaying:
Playback Failed unavailable in this location.
I did not check all the other channels, but all I tried did work.
I rescanned the trouble channels and had and still have checkmarks.
I am not running a VPN to change location.

I live on the west coast and have never received any of those YTTV TVE channels. I do however receive the pacific feeds of each of those channels at 6011, 6013, 6014, 6017, 6019. I have never received TVLAND on either 2020 or 2021.
Yeah, I don't even get the odd numbers approved for the west coast, so I don't expect to get them. I just don't know why I am getting this message on the ones I am approved for.
I am trying to get this to work as well but being blocked by NBC as well, same as above. Wants me to authenticate it and cannot.. Not sure what to do at this point. I was trying out YTTV as a possible cable replacement, if I cannot get pasted this then it is a no go for me..
Update.. I got it working, not sure how, but we will see how it goes.. hoping this works out for me.. but also considering Hulu Live..
I had to login in to NBC on a different tab. Then I even had to start streaming the live channel before the scan would work.

Question about the Local Providers via TV Everywhere. Today NBC, Fox and ABC all seem to work, but CBS is missing from my Channels DVR list. If I log into CBS.com with my YTTV credentials, it works and I can watch Live TV, but can't get Channels to recognize that. Is there any way to force it to try and log in again?
EDIT: Cancel this request, I completely disabled " *Local Networks via TV Everywhere" and re-enabled it, and that seems to have worked. Leaving this here for others in case they run into the same issue.

I find it weird that Channels says YouTube TV does not provide TVE access to NBCSN-WASHINGTON. Yet it works on NBC Sports app.
Unless its based on the NBC app instead.
It's not Channels that says that, that's what NBC's TVE server is returning as an error.
It's based on what you can access from the website not an app, and if the stream has DRM or not.
Ah that makes sense now. Didn't show up on the NBC Sports website for the NBC website ether.
Hi All, just testing this setup with my YTTV account, I had to create a new gmail account as I didnt want to disable 2FA, I have added it to my family, I can log into YTTV and it works, I can log into NBC and it works but I'm still getting the error when authenticating and it has the NBC logo still on the background. Anyone have any suggestions?
Seeing this in the logs.

Try updating to pre-release using the dropdown next to Check for Update button
Will do, thanks for the suggestion.
No dice, still has the error and the popup is still failing on the nbc thing, seems like they really want to push the captcha part.
Installed the app on my phone, signed in there, then ran the setup again and it seems to be going through now.

Nice. I think the captcha must show when it isn't sure you're a real person yet. When you use the account a bit and login from apps etc, it trusts you and stops asking for captchas.

You need to follow the advice above if you're getting a captcha:
I actually already did that. The NBC app and the YouTube TV app both work on my phone.
